Felix Baumgartner reached an even faster speed than was originally estimated during his freefall from the edge of space on October 14, 2012: Mach 1.25.

The statistic was just part of the news shared in a report detailing the results of a three-month-long analysis of mission data conducted by the Red Bull Stratos science team, which was released on Tuesday, February 5, 2013.

The wide-ranging science findings, including the first physiologic data ever captured from a human freefalling faster than the speed of sound, also led to some revisions in the initial figures from the jump, which collected knowledge for future aerospace travel while breaking numerous records.
